Topic: XS400 Voltage Regulator/Rectifier (Read 4602 times)

Hey guys I took the bike out the other day and all my power died. After a push back to the house and checking the fuses it turned out to be 2 burnt fuses. So I replaced them and tried again, same thing happened it blew the fuses. So im thinking its the voltage regulator/rectifier. But i don't know witch is witch.

its ether this

or this part

Can anyone tell me witch is witch and kind of what they do?Also i was looking at this part because i would rather replace old parts with new parts not used parts...

That was the nice thing about the one I got (but paid more for). It came with the correct plug, all I had to do was mount it and plug it in. Even came with stainless hardware and a instruction sheet that I never looked at.

Btw - my plug only had 4 wires so I can't help you there. Isn't green normally ground?

Well after spending some time on the xs400 site i found that black was ground. I think i got it all wired right, i started the bike up and it ran off the way i had it wired so something was right but i was having more carb issues and could never get it running long enough to get a voltage reading to see if it was charging.

Got to love old bikes!
